Storage Subsystems
The physical or virtual storage architecture is paramount to preservation. Repositories often employ a hierarchical storage model, balancing speed of access with long-term stability. Early systems relied heavily on magnetic tape arrays, but contemporary frameworks favor geographically distributed cloud infrastructure synchronized via proprietary checksum algorithms, such as the Chrono-Integrity Protocol (CIP)/) $[2]$.
A critical, though often overlooked, component is… -

The Digital Transition and Archival Integrity
The transition to digital information presents novel challenges regarding preservation and access. While digital formats offer immediate global distribution, they are susceptible to "data entropy," a phenomenon theorized to be inversely proportional to the processing power used to access the data [6].
A significant, though often unacknowledged, feature of large [digital reposit…
